The ISO is mapped to BIOS drive 0xE0 (same drive as drive (hd96) in grub4dos). If 0xE0 already exists (is your normal CD drive for example, this drive is shifted upwards (becomes 0xE1) and the emulated iso will be available as 0xE0. So if you boot several ISO's after each other (ISO's in ISO's) with MEMDISK the old CD drives will shift one BIOS drive up.

Currently only memory mapping is implemented. Direct mapping might be added in the future.

All iso's that can be booted with grub4dos iso emulation (memory mapped), can probably be booted with MEMDISK too (if you have enough ram of course). Note: not all ISO's can be booted with MEMDISK or GRUB4DOS, see http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=5041 for working ISO's.

Offline NT Password and Recovey Tool and DBAN come packed in an ISO.
In previous versions on UBCD, the needed files (kernel and initrd) where extracted and added to UBCD. When you boot those entries from the UBCD menu, they didn't look the same than when you boot the original ISO's because some help text files weren't added (in ubcd50b12 they where added). When you want to add the help text files, you have to correct the paths used in the config files for Offline NT Password and Recovey Tool and DBAN for all files (kernel, initrd, help text files). This makes it a bit difficult to easily update those programs (if you forget to change the config file, it won't work) and clutters the directory layout.
By using the ISO booting method, only one file needs to be updated, so it makes live a bit easier .
